Tailor Raises $22M in Series A Funding for Headless ERP Platform

Tailor, a company with locations in San Francisco and Tokyo, has successfully raised $22 million in a Series A funding round. The investment was contributed by ANRI, JIC Venture Growth Investments (JIC VGI), New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Spiral Capital, and Y Combinator.

The company's ERP system, Omakase, is described as a 'headless' system, where the front end is separated from the back end. This allows for more flexibility and customization options, and the backend controls essential functions such as inventory management and accounting.

Despite facing competition from established players like SAP and Oracle, Tailor believes its customizable 'headless' approach provides a competitive edge. Originally focusing on retail and e-commerce, Tailor's product, Omakase, automated workflows and managed operations for these industries. However, the company is now expanding its services to non-e-commerce or retail companies, especially in the B2B sector. Tailor plans to utilize the funding for U.S. expansion, product development, and Japan operations.
